“In Africa, our commitment to localization is not just a strategy, but a fundamental shift in how we approach development. By placing local communities at the heart of decision-making and implementation, we co-design solutions that align with their top priorities, building resilient systems that reflect the unique strengths and needs of each region. I am incredibly proud of our teams for fostering these partnerships that empower local leaders, amplify local voices, and ensure that the impact we create is sustainable and enduring.”
